A police officer was knocked down by a car outside Coventry’s main station.

The inspector was struck by a red Volkswagen Golf outside Coventry Central police station in Little Park Street last Monday at 2pm as he approached a car to speak to the driver about their driving.

Officers would particularly like to speak to a woman who may have seen the incident and was pushing a double buggy at the time.

She was white, slim, with dark hair tied back, in her mid-20s and around 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in.

The policeman was taken to hospital for treatment but was not seriously injured and a 40-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and is currently on police bail pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
